How did I know my first comment after not blogging for 2 years would be from you my friend… Yes, more to come. At least one more to fill in the back story!

Hello, Friend!

I’m guessing this post is first in a series to share the whole Rich-Kit story?

It’s amazing how rude people can be sometimes. Yesterday, I saw a car honk at somebody that was blind (had the white cane). Please show some class folks!

We are really lucky – in my town, the buses talk… not the drivers, the buses. They announce their bus and route at each stop, they announce upcoming stops, they tell you if a stop has been requested. When they come to a transfer point, they even list all the buses you can connect to… I love it! Great work on navigating the transit system, it brings with it HUGE independence!

Great post. I completely agree. It makes me sad that any parent doesn’t want their child to see a message from our president. I hope the kids rebel and tell their parents that they’re being stupid.

It is interesting that most of children whose parents will be opting out are white. It’s the last gasp of racism, plain and simple. Lots of hate speech in my area masquerading as “first amendment rights”.

We need to call BS on them when they try that. Don’t just stay silent, folks (on both sides and in the middle) take that as agreement. If you don’t agree, say so!

Comment on “ER” Finale by Stephanie

I watched ER for years also. When they killed off Dr. Green and Dr. Carter appeared less and less, the show lost a lot of it’s appeal to me.

I may be a judo sensei, but when the shooting starts, I’m still going to run and scream like a little girl…

Congrats on how far you have come, Rich. That is quite an accomplishment. I will reassure myself of your safety by reminding myself that you are a Judo sensei.

Rich, this is all very interesting to me because I had no idea how any of it works.

As for the drivers being “nice, but not overly friendly”, I figure that’s a step up from the average person in Philly, so that’s a plus.

I like this post Rich, it’s very well written. I prefer for people to ask me about Jude’s situation rather than stare. I have no problem sharing the challenges he has overcome, and the faith we have for his future.

Well done, Rich.

As much as I read from other bloggers how they hate the stares, another way to offend is to assume you know what the other person feels like or thinks based on their disability.

Hoping you make good on the tease to write more along the theme of this post.
